    How many decades did it take, 'just' to stick a warning label on a pack of cigarettes ?

    OK so they found the Cry1Ab toxin in human blood, is there a study that shows this is harmful to humans? Alot of us have eaten GMO foods for years, and were still kickin'. Not to make light of the study, but how many pesticides did we consume before GMO's? It's gettin' to be so we won't be able to eat anything anymore.

    If you're my age, we'll probably have all kinds of fancy technology to cure anything when the toxin has accumulated enough to cause damage. If you're in your 60's or older, you probably won't live long enough to care because you won't get enough in your system. But, if you're in your 40's, you're just screwed.

    I personally think processed foods pose more of a health hazard to humans than GMO's. I do think GMO's may pose a threat as to the sustanability of non GMO stocks though.

    There is no arguement about processed foods. The concern about Bt is that they were sure it could not be absorbed into the system. What else are they are so sure is safe, what else have they not tested properly or misrepresented?

    If your grandparents couldn't buy it, don't eat it. Actually, if My grandparents couldn't eat it, don't. I'm on a no-white diet. If its white, don't eat it. (pink don't count :->).

    Avoid corn oil and high fructose corn syrup especially. Dismiss the myths about palm oils. Propaganda by the corn board.

    Aflatoxins. It is true. The GMO peanut butter is actually safer than the non-GMO peanut butter. That is actually the extent of my knowledge on the topic, and I love peanut butter, so... I will take the risk with GMO! (I can eat half a jar in one sitting... I'm so dead)

    I want to eat healthier and safer food, but what food would those be?!? I know if I grow it it's safe... that's about it...
